kimberkidUzi owners: what did you buy and why?
duh ... I didn't, but I should have.
One of favorite shops called me yesterday, they have a transferable Model B with a couple mags and soft case, $8,500
If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.
I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either

It's a registered receiver, guys had it for about 10 years, I'm highly motivated, but I've also got my youngest starting collage in August ... the "little woman" doesn't usually say anything about my habit, but that might be pushing it too far ... sure I could flip it in 7-10 months for 12-14K when I take possession, but she also knows it probably wouldn't happen
she knows me too well.

Yeah but a registered receiver is much more flexible than a sear. You can shoot .22LR, .380, 9mm, and .45 acp out of the same UZI, if I'm not mistaken, that is if you buy the appropriate parts for each caliber.

kimberkidCorrect, with the UZI, the other way to go is a registered bolt ... which limits you to the caliber as the caliber head is cut into the face of the bolt.

Transferable UZI sears are far less common than registered receiver and registered bolt conversions. Fleming and Qualified registered some UZI sears. They are far less common than RR or registered bolt. I’ve only seen one for sale since I started following MGs in the mid 90s.
An unmarried sear would be able to use any caliber bolt and barrel, but this is not black and white as the full-size Uzi blocking bar would potentially limit the options for a FA bolt, as a FA bolt has to be slotted for the receiver. A slotted FA bolt that itself is not a registered conversion device forever marries to the registered sear to the host and bolt. A registered sear installed in a mini or micro could use different bolts with different calibers.

As always, thanks for the clarification! More stuff I had no idea about!

tschiemerI agree an Uzi in semi w its 16” bbl would not be ideal: the choices are a SBR w a $200 tax stamp and maybe an 8-10 month wait or a full auto. The last I looked a few years ago, they were about $6000. Years ago a transferable BG full auto bolt was $480 and a Model A IMI Action Arms carbine was $1050! I thought that was high.
I enjoy my Colt SBR AR-15 in 9mm. That is an idea to consider. It is fun to shoot and inexpensive to operate.

redlickranchI found a Century UC9 for $650 at one of my local shops. Came with a few mags and the shop owner said he shot 50 flawless rounds through it. I bought it and it will fail to eject about once or twice per 30 rd mag where the case is backwards in the bolt. Guy said he would give me my money back , but I decided to keep it since I always wanted an UZI. I have ran about 500 rounds through mine over the last 6 months. It is pretty accurate for what it is and fun to shoot. I once saw surplus +P ammo at the Machine Gun shoot at Knob Creek and wondered if that would help my feeding issue. It's still a fun Range gun, but renting a full auto one is more fun.
